⚠️ Are you engaging with proxy advisors? If not, now's your chance. 📥Glass, Lewis & Co. and ISS | Institutional Shareholder Services have both opened their benchmark policy surveys for responses and feedback. These surveys give investors the opportunity to ensure the views of the investment community are considered, and that climate is fully integrated into their analysis and recommendations. ➡️ We recommended that investors respond to these surveys and submit their own individual responses to ensure both proxy advisors are responsive to their needs. 🔎To provide a resource for support, our corporate programme manager Jack Steenson discusses the climate-related topics across both surveys, discusses how and why they are so important to investors' climate work, and highlights where IIGCC research has indicated best practice for those areas. ⏰The deadlines for responses are 30 August and 5 September, for Glass Lewis and ISS respectively.

📝 In July, the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) published areas of focus and interim changes it will be making to the Stewardship Code, ahead of its consultation announced earlier this year. ⏰Since the Code's last update in 2019, the landscape for stewardship and reporting has evolved drastically - and so have investor needs and reporting obligations. 📣The proposed consultation presents investors with a chance to call for a balance between streamlined reporting, and ambitions for transparency and information flow which is integral to investors’ net zero stewardship efforts, including through ‘collaborative engagement’ and ‘escalation’. 🔎 Our Senior Net Zero Stewardship Specialist Laith A. Cahill takes a look at this announcement, the proposed changes and their implications for investors. Read more: https://lnkd.in/ghGqpwPC #stewardship #investors #netzero
A streamlined FRC Stewardship code is welcome, but do changes preserve ambition?

🌍📈 We’re thrilled to share the results of the first implementation of PCRAM – Physical Climate Risk Assessment Methodology. PCRAM can transform how we assess and manage climate risks by providing a standardised approach that bridges the gap between infrastructure and finance sectors. 💸 It’s not just about managing risks but also uncovering the benefits of investing in resilience — think more predictable cash flows, enhanced credit quality, and better long-term cost management. The methodology was developed by the Asset Design & Structuring working group of the Coalition for Climate Resilient Investment (CCRI), with special thanks to Mott MacDonald for their instrumental support in this work. In our latest report, "PCRAM in Practice," we dive into two case studies of a hydropower facility and a coastal wind farm to showcase how PCRAM can be applied. 🌊💨 And there’s more to come! 🔔 PCRAM 2.0 is on the horizon, where we hope to demonstrate even broader industry applications. Check out the full report and stay tuned for upcoming developments. 💪🌱 https://lnkd.in/eSET6Zap #ClimateResilience #PCRAM #SustainableFinance #ClimateRisk #NetZero
